George J. Bristle, was born in Germany in 8 Feb 1829 and came to America at the age of twenty-six years, first settling in Ohio, whence he afterward came to Illinois and entered the employ of Dr. Pendleton, of Sterling.
In 1843 he made his first purchase of land, becoming owner of ten acres, and when he had saved a sufficient sum from his earnings he bought forty acres in Ustick township, upon which he resided until 1887. He then moved to Clyde township, where he lived for a number of years, after which he invested in property in Morrison and retired to private life, enjoying throughout his remaining days the fruits of his earnest and unremitting toil.
There he died April 27, 1904, and his genuine worth as a man and citizen made his death the occasion of deep regret to many friends. He has one brother residing in the midwest, Simon Bristle, who is now living retired in Boone, Iowa, while another brother, Fred Bristle, died in Sterling. The wife of our subject bore the maiden name of Dorothy Eslinger.
